Cillian Murphy<\/strong><\/a> honed his craft for nearly three decades before his Oppenheimer<\/em><\/a> role made him one of Hollywood\u2019s biggest names.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m stubborn and lacking in confidence, which is a terrible combination,\u201d Murphy joked to The Guardian<\/em><\/a> in July 2023 while promoting the project. He confessed: \u201cI don\u2019t want to put anything out that I don\u2019t think is excellent.\u201d<\/p>\n Excellent is one of the many descriptors viewers used to describe Murphy\u2019s acting in Oppenheimer<\/em><\/a>. The Christopher Nolan<\/strong>-directed project<\/a> depicts the story of real-life American scientist J. Robert Oppenheimer (Murphy) and his role in developing the atomic bomb.<\/p>\n Oppenheimer<\/em>, however, it isn\u2019t the first time that Murphy has wowed audiences with his skills. He earned TV-lovers\u2019 approval in 2013 when he first starred on Peaky Blinders<\/em><\/a> \u2014 but his acting roots date back to the mid-90s.<\/p>\n Scroll down to Murphy\u2019s biggest milestones:<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
